Nathan Rivera

My name is Nathan Rivera and I am the head youth director of the Youth programs and the assistant head coach for the Adult MMA & Striking programs at Fusion MMA.

I started official in 2011 but my training was off and on due to wrestling and a few health issues. In 2013 became an assistant coach in the youth programs. In 2016 started to help coach in the adult classes. I made training a lifestyle starting in 2016.

A few goals of mine are to be a better fighter and coach each day, to be a professional fighter by 2022 and to help each student at Fusion to be the best person they can be no matter the challenge.

Teaching and communicating to students how they personally learn, helping motive and push my training partners and students to work hard, and helping coach Brian with running the gym smooth are some of my strengths.

Training at Fusion has so many benefits but the things that really stand out to me is the sense of confidence you gain from training mixed martial arts, the close friendships that you developed with your training partners and having your body and mind in phenomenal shape.Nathan Rivera
